Handling your wrath of fury!

Postby seagreen497 » Sun Nov 04, 2012 10:23 am

Ok so I'm raging, I'm pissed off :- someone's hurt my feelings and treated me like a piece of poop on their shoe and I'm livid furious and angry.

Last night, I used this energy to clean my house top to bottom. Now they're likely to walk in, I need to calm down. Otherwise well all hell is going to break loose.

How do you, if you can hold in the negative energy or release it like a bicycle puncture not a car tyre blow out on the motorway?

I have sedatives that knock me out, so I could pop one and go lay down. But that's really not the point. I honestly haven't been this miffed in ages, I might ruin all the tidying I did yesterday. *hhmmmppph*

I have not yet found a good way to release that wave of fury. I usually shut myself in a room, and tell everyone in my family that they need to leave me alone. I try to take deep breaths to calm myself my down, but only the lapse of time will reduce my wave of fury.

I have never been able to handle mine well but what i have
been doing is just trying to breathe. I try to really think about
who is making me angry, do i really truly think it's necessary
to explode? Will I feel ok about it later? Definitely doesn't always
work but I try to do that. Maybe that will help you too, I don't
know, in my last fit of rage nothing was going to stop me and
nothing did but sometimes it helps.

I tend to bottle it up, or take it out on myself ( both mentally and cutting )

i learned if i chase people unleashing fury i tend to push them away, which just keeps the spiral going between abandonment and saying i was sorry, if im in my right to be mad i just unleash it anyway, though you get the feeling the times you are actually right because you're right and not triggered are few and far apart.

I ended up drawing a little spider graph with HURT in the middle, thoughts/feelings branching off, with reasons branching off those.
Worked wonders putting it on paper, lets it out and to hand it to the person, so basically it's a new form of communication and knowing that they understand how you feel and why.
God knows why I did it but I did and luckily it worked... Managed to shout a little bit like a parent at a child. But no objects were thrown and no tears were dropped *phew*

Um.

Beat a pillow with a baseball bat.
Punch a brick wall. (not healthy, but the point is to not hurt anyone else)

If I'm still pissed I go for long, intense exercise. Go running for two hours, run up and down stairs to the point of exhaustion. Usually I'm good after that.

I just keep taking my meds, But sometimes the meds just dont work. Iam at that point also, If someone else treats me like sh== , i may sh== on them. Nothing worse than being treated unfairly.

i go to the gym and hit a sand bag, and then spend a couple hours on other machines until the rage is tempered by feeling tired. on occasion i think maybe i exercise too much, but i figure it's better than what i'd be doing otherwise.

Two words: Kung Fu.
Better hide your heart, better hold on tight
Say your prayers, 'cause there's trouble tonight
When pride and love battle with desire
Better hide your heart, 'cause you're playing with fire
